I live down the street...so Sumiya has been on my to-eat list since moving to the area.
Came by around 7:30. We ended up staying a bit past closing. Didn't realize until we looked around and all the other customers had left. But staff never rushed us to leave.
Two of us ordered quite a bit of food:
-yakitori don set, potato mochi $20.75
-hatsu (hearts) $7.50, good texture
-kamo (duck) $10, good, a bit pricey but flavor was good
-nagoya style calamari $13 good
-kalbi don set, tonkatsu $22.75, really tasty, would get again
Staff was friendly. Easy parking in the plaza.
Excited to be back soon!

Came back a second time a few months later...about a 4 star experience.
Came by before 6PM on a Saturday evening. Quite a few parties ahead and didn't realize they do Yelp waitlist. Was quoted around 40 min or so. Communication was super weird regarding seating...already told staff that we wanted to sit inside. About 30 min later, I get a call, and they ask if I want to sit outside again, and I say no, we want to sit inside. We end up waiting for more than an hour...so just be aware during peak times.
This time around, 3 of us ordered:
-yakitori don set, tonkatsu $20.75
-kalbi don set, chicken karaage $22.75
-hatsu (hearts) $7.50
-gyutan $12
-kimo (liver) $7.50
Overall, flavors were good, staff friendly. Just needs to work on peak time communication and turning tables. We eat fast and ended up finishing in like 20 min, but staff took awhile to turn our tables.
Overall, will be back! Suggest going during off times!
